Justin Beiber recently said he doesn't like british food... and he's not the first american to have said this. As a 23yr old british lad who has never been to the US - im CONFUSED.

Here is my (a british person) view of british food (based on what i eat):

McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Burger King, KFC, Domino's, Nandos... and when it comes to the food I eat at home, it comes from a supermarket called Asda (owned by WALMART), and it is all in packets and made by these companies:

Kraft
Nestle
Unilever
Pepsico
Mastterfoods

My only understanding of the difference between us and america is they have LARGER portions... and they eat stuff like steak and syrup for breakfast (for us breakfast is usually a healthy meal like cereal and milk). But other than that, the food is all the SAME.

So what do you actually mean when you say you dont like british food? Most of our food comes from american companies, and american culture is originally influenced by british culture, so it makes no sense to me...
